Disclaimer: While Integra LifeSciences Corporation has used reasonable efforts to provide accurate coding information, this information should not be construed as providing clinical advice, dictating reimbursement policy, or substituting for the judgment of a practitioner. It is always the Provider’s responsibility to determine and submit appropriate codes, charges, and modifiers for services that are rendered. Integra LifeSciences Corporation assumes no responsibilities or liabilities for the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of the information contained herein.
